Forests Logging Background (Papua New Guinea : 2003)
Logging threatens Yokoname Mountain, the ancestral burial grounds of the Batamo Clan. People here are angry and upset that construction of a logging road through their sacred place is imminent. A survey road has been marked directly through the site. Batamo legend tells of an ancestor turned to stone in this area; since then the bodies of generations have been placed on shelves at Yokoname Mountain. Their bones hold power and form a spiritual home for the Clan. The Batamo believe that disturbance of this place will bring about a bad future for the clan.
